From February 10th to March 4th, the Institut Français in China and the Goethe Institute are teaming up to show films from the Berlinale as part of a rich program that reflects the turbulent, evolving modern world.

The Berlin International Film Festival, better known as the Berlinale, is the one of the most prestigious international category A film festival. Similar events include Cannes, Venice, Rotterdam and San Sebastian in Europe; and Sundance and Toronto in North America. Created in 1951 as a « showcase of the free world », the festival has since revealed or confirmed the status of many young international filmmakers, such as Mia Hansen-Løve, Radu Jude, Yang Chao, Diao Yi’nan or Gianfranco Rosi.
